Will Relocate for Sushi

I love love love sushi. Know whose fault it is? Jay's. This is an individual who changed jobs and moved to another state, a decision based solely (so he claimed at the time) on the availability and ability to procure - sushi.

If it's that powerful, and not an illegal substance, you know I gotta try it. I've been crazy about it ever since.

Mark, Nevesis, Captain Napalm and I went to this sushi joint that had an all-you-can-eat buffet. The food was fabulous, and they even had a scrumptious tempura for the sushi disinclined, i.e. Napalm. Even so, I don't think I'll be going back there anytime soon. Too many rules. Charges for any food you can't put away (hey what if you are trying something and you find out you don't like it?) and dire prohibitions against abusing the rice, etc. These I can kind of understand for an all-you-can-eat buffet, though; it's forgiveable. What I don't find forgiveable is that they include the gratuity in your bill.

I take very seriously my responsibility when it comes to gratuity. I'm grateful. I seldom leave a less than customary tip, and I definitely tip outrageously high when particularly pleased. I do not like at all having a mandatory tip tallied in at the register. Just rubs me wrong and I won't do it.

Anyway, I'm not likely to go to an all-you-can-eat place anyway, since the amount of sushi I usually eat would cost less a la carte, most of the time. I get full fast. My favorite sushi place is Peking Tokyo on University, across from Hops and some other steakhouse.

Ooooooooh, look what I found a link to in Jay's archives. This Engrish-laden site is nevertheless highly informative. Don't miss the imporant "How to use..." Flash animation.
